STS 2.5.2 + Roo 1.1.2 create new roo project hangs

Mar 1st, 2011, 11:12 PM

Hi All,

I just downloaded the STS bundle to try out Roo 1.1.2
When I try to create a new Roo project the roo shell gets fired up but just sits doing apparently nothing showing the project command. No CPU is being consumed and the cancel button doesn't work.
The roo log file just contains a "log opened" message.

Hi, are you still having this problem? If so, I think I found a solution to it which worked for me (STS 2.6 + Roo 1.1.3). If you are running Windows 7, and installed both under "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" I believe the roo app has a problem with the spaces in the folder names as well as the permissions applied to the folders. I figured this out by moving the install out of these folders and added "Full Control" permissions wise to the users group and it roo started to work properly again.
